The Knife (formerly of Aristotle) has a Twitter account, @theknifemedia. It has only 87 followers. It has emitted 1419 tweets, the first on January 19, 2017. A number of the older tweets are in Spanish.

Almost all the tweets link back to a website, http://ethicalmedia.org. That domain was registered on December 5, 2006 by Carl Hendricks of E-Mallard Web Corporation (Mallard is a street in Clifton Park). E-Mallard is the company name for many NXIVM-related domains. That site redirects to http://www.knifeofaristotle.com, which was also registered by Hendricks and E-Mallard, on August 14, 2014. That site doesn’t actually have the contents of the tweet.

Amusingly, there is a Twitter account @theknifenews about an obscure Swedish music group. There is also http://knifenews.com , “Today’s news for knife people.” So it appears like the re-branding (there’s that word again) was a bit hasty.

Unlike the older website, which put everything behind a paywall, the new one actually shows you one story for free, and the Knife’s analysis of it for slant, spin, etc. But then you hit your “monthly limit” and it asks for your credit card info.

For those who want more than news, there is also “cookies and milk”, said to be Keith Raniere’s midnight snack. [He didn’t get that paunch on an 800 calorie diet. Wisely too, a man needs far more than 800 calories per day. He can become malnourished with such an extremely limited caloric intake.]
